I. Introduction
---------------
The Riddler gives you a bunch of riddles. They are just collectable
type errands that you can find in each room of the game. Once you have
found a riddle, you must hold down the Left Bumper to scan the area. It
will say you have solved the riddle if you have found it correctly. There
are also trophies, and Chattering teeth to find as well. This guide is
just has the riddles for now. You will have no trouble finding the
trophies and teeth once you find the Riddler's top secret map in
each location. Beside the riddles that need a gadget before you can
obtain them. I have added in ** what gadget is needed first.

Right near the end, after the Scarecrow sequence, take the
right hand corridor, disable the barrier at the stairs near the far
door and enter Aaron Cash's office. Zoom in on the family photo on
the desk.
- Patient Pacification Chamber *Explosive Gel*
Even I was shocked when I saw how Maxie Zeus was treated.
Maxie's cell is behind a breakable wall in the far corner, opposite the
grate you use to escape after defeating Zsasz at the start of the game.
- Intensive Treatment Lobby
A puzzle has many sides, but only some are visible.
You will have to use detective mode and look for a question mark. You
will need to stand in the right position to make it line up correctly.
Don't forget the dot underneath. This one can be seen from inside the
structure in the middle of the room. Looking at the map, you want to
be in the glass-roofed section on the left hand side. You'll see the
top of the question mark on the window facing the south wall.

Was this fire fly too hot off the press?
After you've removed all the gas, look for press cuttings stuck to a locker
in one of the small rooms. Zoom in on the Firefly headline.
- Sanatorium
A question can only be answered from a new perspective. Don't you agree?
*Explosive Gel*
As you enter the room, there's a breakable floor on the left hand side.
Demolish it with gel, then stand on the side and switch on Detective Mode.
The main bit of the question mark is on the side of the hole, the dot is
on the floor below.

the cell decorated with skulls on the lower level.

- Aviary
There's no closet in the gardens, so someone is using the roof instead.
You can get this while sneaking past Joker's henchmen. You need to climb up
behind the left wall, and you'll emerge on an outcrop, almost directly opposite
the control room you're headed for. Look left and down and there's a skeleton
hanging out of a crevice. Zoom in.
- Abandoned Chamber
This challenge can only be seen by those with a different view on life.
Once you get to the door at the top of the chamber leading to the next room.
Head left and shimmy across the wall. Make your way to the middle of the
room and look down towards the platform to the left of the door. Same
platform you used to getto the shimmy piece of wall. Half of the question
mark is on the platform you are standing on and the other half is on the
lower platform.

from the area. Use upgraded Bat Claw to pull the wall down, then grapple
up and find Scarecrow's gas cannisters.
Zsasz is counting on you to find his work. *Cryptographic Sequencer Upgrade*
Looking at the map, this can be found in a room at the top of the large
building on the left. Destroy the barrier. Once inside, you'll find dead
guards arranged as if they're playing poker.
Do you see what I see? No? Then maybe I am in a stronger position.
On the platform right in front of the barrier of the above riddle. Go into
detective mode and look straight down at the edge of the platform. The dot
is on the platform you are standing on.

--------------
The legacy of this island has been well and truly buried.
Arkham's grave in the cemetery. It is dug up with a latern next to it.
Gotham's greatest family towers over the city.
